Ogden is the old railroad town turned ski-bum gateway, with three world-class resorts (Snowbasin, Powder Mountain, Nordic Valley) within 30 minutes. Historic 25th Street has the old saloons and brick storefronts intact, now full of breweries and restaurants. Union Station is a working museum. The Wasatch Mountains loom right behind town. It's the chiller, cheaper neighbor of Park City.
